I am a second grade teacher who read this aloud multiple times in my classroom last year. All my students loved it. It was a crowd pleaser every time. The students were so eager to read it themselves that our classroom needed multiple copies! It can carry you from the first day of school to the last.

On the First Day of Grade School by Emily Brenner, Illustrated by Bruce Whatley
This children's picture book, written in the style of the popular Christmas song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is sure to enchant young readers as they envision young students gifting their teacher with a crazy variety of unusual creatures which eventually take over their classroom. Starting with a python, moving on to snoring pigs, and finally ending with zookeepers, this fantastically illustrated picture book will certainly delight grade school children.

We checked this book out of the library and my grandson LOVED it. He is 4 and we had memorized many parts of it in just 2 readings. We had such great times reading this book. I used different voices for the characters and he mimicked me. It is a great teaching tool also for counting and memory work. I am buying it now for him to keep!
Hey Grandma's get and read this book to your grandchildren. They will never forget it! What great memories it has given us! It is a keeper!

The illustrations were funny and beautiful. My son could recite the book before he even started Kindergarten.
